‘The installation ‘WITHOUT DIVERSION’ by the Berlin based artist Christian Moeller shows a reconstruction of his former studio in Karlsruhe with the complete original equipment.
Already during his studies in Karlsruhe at Prof. Horst Antes the artist began to paint his pictures exclusively in shades of black and white.“I allow a form more freedom if I do not evaluate it with colours.“(Christian Möller)
In the course of time the initial cemetery-, night – and industrial landscapes changed to strong, expansive abstract painting. Developed merely in black and white tones, the intense movements draw the viewers attention into an impenetrable thicket of compact and transparent forms. These remain two dimensional fragments which are multi-layered colour-spaces. The engulfing blackness is punctuated with tantalizing strokes of white, and layer upon layer of grey tones.. The frenzied brushstrokes represent an interior stream of consciousness laid bare upon the canvas, which is transformed into a stage upon which the subconscious plays. His paintings can be seen as visual manifestations of the deepest repressed emotions and darkest experiences which lie at the heart of the human psyche. His emotional paintings are an interesting counterpoint to the analytical train of thought in conceptual art.
